A couple things I picked up at Motor City this weekend.

 

I didn't recognize the dealer I got this from.

 

This one came from our very own Dale Roberts. It was in a collection he bought at the show. Thanks Dale! (thumbs u

I did not know you collected the british price variants as well, Tim.

I don't have a lot of them but, to me, they fit into the qualifications of "foreign edition". I've got a few random ones, I'd have more if there wasn't, almost always, higher priority books that turn up. I'm rather fond of them though.

 

[vaillant]

Yes, I asked because they are pretty much the UK equivalents of the US ones. Nice Ghosts…

This one is the italian Spidey #500, regular edition (there are two variants which have metallic silver and blue ink instead of gold).

It uses the cover of the Amazing Spider-Man Extra one shot and it’s from 2008 as well (by 2008 the title name changed to "Spider-Man" in english instead of "Uomo Ragno"):

That's cool. Are they hard to track down? Expensive? I'm not much into modern stuff but I like that cover and wouldn't at all mind adding one of each color to my ever growing collection.

Don’t know about the two variants but this one is pretty common as most issues are, I can offer it for about $5.

I picked a copy of this and the silver (platinum) variant because they were nice copies while I was looking for modern italian Spideys for Racetrack (Anfield). He picked the platinum but I know little about their original print runs.

Just got these in an epic trade between Hector and I. As Tim recently said, these book as almost as cool as the man and our forefather himself, Chespirito.

Here's a couple of things I've actually had for a while but somehow never scanned and posted.

I saw this and it’s gorgeous:

 

 

Do you know which original cover is used in this german edition?

[TheLiamSturgess]

That's the Alex Ross cover, I believe from a TPB but I can't be sure.

That is correct sir. They also made a poster of it and used it as the variant cover for the FF Omnibus. Sadly it doesn't reprint FF #1 it reprints FF #10.

Well, it’s equally cool. Consider that in Italy we never had a FF#1 edition with the right cover. Or better, there was one a few years ago, sold in bundle with a TPB, but it used the "Fantastic Four" logo instead of "Fantastici Quattro", so it looks like the american one.
